  • 'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy

    Jump

  • "Boomer shooter" refers to old school FPS/shooters in the sense of boomer = old? Never knew that.

    I always thought it was because of the more fast paced styles of the older games and emphasis on explosive weapons.

    Most people who played Doom / Unreal / Hexen when the games were released were early millenials or tail end "Gen X". From memory, FPS games weren't really that popular among people in their 30s and early 40s in the 90s. It was all young kids, teenagers and (I am assuming) university students.

  • Day 465 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • Have yet to play the remake. Played the original on PC in 99 or so. It was a very novel experience at that time (I had mostly played cRPGs, RTSs, city-builder/tycoons etc.). A lot of the puzzles were challenging for young brain though.

  • An arguement can be made that gacha disqualifies it from being an RPG.

    Not saying one must agree or disagree, just outlining the logical thinking on this.

  • To be honest, I've never heard CRPGs refer to anything other than computer RPGs. Usually gatcha games are referred to as such even by players who play them.

    But I've made some edits for clarity. Cheers!

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 review

    Jump

  • I might get it in a few years if it is available for under $10 (with all DLC).

    But the lack of RPG mechanics, limited gameplay area, trash tier side-quests and near exclusive focus on action/brawling are major dealbreakers for me.

  • Day 458 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • I think it should be less than $30 in my region (we get very good discounts).

    I will just wait for a nice discount.

    Jump

  • Never heard about a zombie version of RDR.

    Checked out the Wikipedia page and they even have a PC version.

    Went to steam and found out that the game costs $50! That's really too bad, but I will be on the lookout if it gets discounted.

  • New trailer for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has a rather bald Borg crew member

    Jump

  • This is an adventure sim video game.

  • King of Dragon Pass, making you feel like a bronze age tribe chieftain

    Jump

  • This is a very unique game both in terms of setting (and how it relates to gameplay as highlighted in OP) and overall fusion of genres.

    One issue with KoDP is that it can become a bit min/max focused. The gameplay isn't as organic and open ended as I would like.

  • No, Target and Walmart are not removing Xbox products from their stores — as Xbox misinformation reaches new levels

    Jump

  • I don't have any issues when loading the page on Firefox Mobile with UBO. It looks fine, no popups or scam style hijacks.

  • Genshin Impact is introducing a Roblox-like games creation platform October 22nd | Massively Overpowered

    Jump

  • Does Genshin allow you to play as Winnie the Pooh (doesn't have to be the US version, the Fyodor Khitruk version looks cool too)?

  • Anyone try the demo for Tavern Keeper on Steam yet? It's....... yeah.

    Jump

  • This short discussion thread has feedback from a person who tried the latest demo and they were impressed.

    I tried the demo from late last year and I thought it had potential. I liked the setting and the customization options.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Star Ruler 2. If you choose a map with ~450 systems, it plays more like a space economic strategy game, as opposed to the RTS/4X hybrid of the default map settings.

  • I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game, hardest game I ever played

    Jump

  • I remember first seeing Total Biscuit play this in the early 2010s.

  • Post in r/Reddit alternative about r/Lemmy being banned

    Jump

  • Yeah, seems almost too blunt of a method.

  • Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title'

    Jump

  • I played Legacy for an hour purely out of curiosity. It was absolute shit. Boring, uninspired, "worst of mobile" gameplay, generic visuals, multiplayer tacked on in a way that doesn't enhance the gameplay. I will speculate they simply repurposed the Legacy engine for Masters of Albion.

    It's almost certainly going to be terrible.

    If you want a business sim, you would be far better of looking at the Capitalism series, Industry Giant 2 (it holds up pretty even after 20+ years) or perhaps Big Ambitions.

  • Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title'

    Jump

  • It's unlikely that Masters of Albion will be his return to form.

    It looks to be largely based on his previous "game", Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam.

  • Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title'

    Jump

  • He knew how to make good games back in the day, he doesn't any more or simply doesn't care.

    Masters of Albion seems to be largely based on his previous game, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam (selling virtual land based on speculative pitch that the tokens would make mad real world money).

    I tried Legacy for an hour (just out of curiosity), it's shit. Almost feels like a low effort game to justify the pump and dump in-game land sale.
